LITERARY NOTES.

Current numbers of the Golden Argosy,
that erninently successful juvenile
weekly, published by Frank A. Munsey,
at 81, Warren street, New York, are
brimming over with a freight of good
things in the shape OF stirring stories,
spirited pictures, and timely papers on
the sports and recreations of the season.
Tie serials now running are by such
able authors as P. T. Barnum. Horatio
Alger, Jr., Edward S. Ellis, Frank H.
Converse, Arthur Lee Putnam, and a
new one is TO be begun Immediately by
the far-famed Oliver Optic. 1t is en-
titled "The Young Pilot of Lake Mon
toban," and it goes without saying that
it will be sure to delight the boys.
A series of papers on canvas canoe
building, supplies some much desired
and very seasonable information, while
in the department of editors biographies
we note sketches and portraits of the
Hon. William Dorsheimer of the New
York Star, and St. Clair McKelway of
the Brooklyn Eagle.
A new series of Southern articles be-
gins in the July Hdrper'S with the head
ing, "Here and There in the South !"
The writer, Rebecca Harding Davis,
weaves into bright story form the nara
tive OF recent trip from Washington
through the Gulf States into the Acadian
country. Special attention is given to
the prominent aspects of industry,
thought, and life which characterizes the
"New South" This first instalment, in
which the party travels to Montgomery,
Alabama, graphically depicts the violent
contrasts between the old condition of
things and the present. The entire
series is to be beautifully illustrated by
William Hamilton Gibson from material
collected on special tour for this pur-
pose, and the engravings in this part
demonstrate that the value of the text
will be greatly enhanced by the artistic
illustrations.

LAND ENTRIES.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Can you inform me
what amount of land a man can enter un-
der the various land acts, viz, homestead,
pre-emption, desert and timber, and the
probable cost per acre?
What difference is there between home
stead and pre-emption
What has become of your city boom? Has
it left you ?
Are there any Mormons now in your pre- s.
ent Chamber of Commerce
Answers to the above will be appreciated
by some of your readers. d.
Provo. Utah, June "a, 1887.
l. Under the Homestead act, you can
enter l60 acres; under the Presumption,
160 acres; under the Timber Culture act,
160 acres, and under the Deseret Land
act, $40 acres.
3. The cost is as follows: To Home
stead tract Of land you have to live on
it for five years, at the end of which time
you can obtain title by simply proving
that residence, and without cost. To
pre-empt land you have to prove a resi-
dence on it OF six months and then pay
$l.25 per acre for il. In this you have
the difference between Homestead and
Presumption.
To get a title to land under the
Desert Act, you have to reclaim
the land from its desert state to an
agricultural condition, by conducting wa
ter to it, You can then get a title at anv
time within three years from the time it
is reclaimed, by paying $1.25 per acre
for it.
The process under the Timber act is a
little more difficult. You are required to
break five acres, during the first year.
During the second year you must break
another five acres and SOW the first five
acres. During the third year you must
plant the first five acres in cuttings,
planting 675 trees to the acre. At the
end OF eight years you must have 675
trees growing to each of the ten acres, or
$3.50 trees in growth. You can then get
title to the whole tract of $40 acres by
proving that you have complied with
these requirements.
3. There is no boom in Salt Lake City
now, but real estate still holds at a stiff
price and there is considerable activity,
though the real estate agents keep it as
quiet as possible. Building is livelier
here than it has been for years and the
class of buildings going up, show per-
manent prosperity. The little boom of a
month ago was simply preliminary to the
great move that we will have when the
new railroads arrive. The property re-
Gently sold to outside parties will then be
thrown on the market for speculation
and we will experience a boom that will
make Utah rock.
t. There are no Mormons in the Salt
Lake Chamber of Commerce at present.

"IF wanted to get square judgment
on something 1 had DONE" says Rev.
Sam Jones, 81 would rather 90 to a
newspaper Office for it than any other
court of justice. l know the justice of
journals, their integrity and their purity
of motives. know that they can probe
into mems characters. No man whose
character is pure need fear the press Of
America. The way to be safe from So
called newspaper attacks is to be a
Christian. The reporters are the de-
tective force in the country. They have
brought more criminals to justice and
punctured more shams than all agencies
combined"
Shake, Sam, old boy, and when you
want to get some one to join your church
just drop around, and when we have
passed judgment on your doctrines and
found them the correct thing, we will join
your flock.

THOSE THREE LETTERS.

The letter OF Judge Rosborough pub
lished in last Saturdays DEMOCRAT, in
answer TO the Mormon invitation to the
Democratic party of Utah to participate
in The Constitutional Convention called
by the Church leaders, is one of the most
profound, logical and statesmanlike doc
uments that was ever issued from any
source on the subject 10 which it was ad-
dressed. 1t is safe to say that had the
sanity magnates anticipated such a
scathing reply from the chairman of the
Democratic Territorial Committee, no
opportunity would have been afforded him
to WELD his powerful pen in declination of
the courteous" permission of the De-
mocracy OF Utah TO assist in riveting
more firmly upon themselves and their
fellow-loyalists the letters which have so
long been fastened upon them by the
leaders of the Statehood movement.
Judge Rosborough's letter is a complete
and truthful encyclopedia of the Mormon
question from its inception, with such
forcible comments in connection there
with as cannot fail to convey to the intel
ligent reader, here and abroad, the clear
est perception of the pernicious motive
which actuates the Church and State
party in seeking the absolute power
for itself which would follow the
admission of Utah as a sovereign
State. Itis a complete arraignment of
the Mormon Church for its abuse of the
political power it has SO long and tyran-
nically exercised over its own subjects,
and still more arbitrarily, over those who
protested against the surrender of their
constitutional rights to the ecclesiastical
domination of the so-called Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The
letter, in fact, could not have been i'm
proved if the writer had weeks, instead
of hours, in which to consider his sub
ject.
The reply to a similar invitation to the
Democratic Club, by its president, ]. L.
Rawlins, is also a mastery production,
and reflects the views of those whom the
writer represents, in such a clear, forcible
and comprehensive manner that it is
impossible to mistake the meaning of the
writer, or the patriotic motives which
prompted his ringing sentences. The
letter is clear, concise and to the point,
and in connection with that of Judge
Rosborough, gives the Church and
State party TO understand in unmistak-
able terms, that the Democracy of Utah
is a unit in opposition to Statehood,
until such reformation is effected in the
Territory as will insure to the people
such government as the Federal Con-
stitution designs to provide for sovereign
States.
The Republican Territorial Committee
has also returned a negative reply to an
invitation from the same source and to
the same effect as those addressed to the
Democratic Committee and clubs. Both
parties having, through their accredited
representatives, spurned the offer of the
Mormon Church TO act with it in this
matter, the movement is clearly shown
up as an exclusively Church and State
affair. This was, of course, apparent to
every one here before the issuance OF the
letters. 1t will now be made clear all
throughout the length and breadth of the
Nation.

to conform with it. The Church is ty-
rannical, OF course, but it always tries to
present a consistent face to the peo-
pie, on all subjects. For this reason
We do not believe that there will be
anything in the way of cohabs promising
obedience to the law after the convention
has done its work, and let us hope
that those who feel so inclined will take
advantage of the circumstances and ask
for Presidential clemency. Show the
Government in this way that your inten-
tions are good, and there will be little
trouble for you in the future.

THE Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce
is using its influences to cause the rail-
road companies to make lower and more
favorable rates on smelling ores, so that
the Salt Lake smelters may receive the
product of the mines of this interior
country. Salt Lake valley is the place
where Utah, Southern Idaho and Eastern
Nevada ores should come for reduction,
it being the natural center for such. If
the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce
be successful, owners of low grade mines
may expect higher prices to be paid for
their ores by smelling companies.-Pdrk

STANDING ON Their HEADS.

An Amusing Incident in tho French De.
Purtment of Public Instruction.
The classic anecdote of Cardinal Richie
lieu vying with a courtier to see who could
kick the highest has just received n mod
ern Endorsement in an incident that oc-
CURED In the department of public in
struction. Among the employees of the
government in this department are a
couple of young men who dabble in liter
ature, one having published a volume of
poems and the other having produced one
or two plays. They are lively young fell
lows and great friends. The PRESSURE of
duty is no stronger on public officials in
France than it is in America, and they
find much time for the writing of their
ambitious illusions between whites as they
work They also find time for n reason
able amoun of rest and recreation. One
day they took 1t into their heads to try
athletic exercise to while away half an
hour. In n moment both were OH the
floor hard ut work in thnt interesting
game pulling up" A walking stick
served for the piece de resistance, so to
speak.
After demonstrating that the poet could
pull up the dramatist every time, they
tried sitting down on one foot, the other
being kept off the floor during the whole
process of sinking and getting up again.
This was the dramatist's strong hold, and
the poet was nowhere. 81 can stand on
my head longer than you can, anyway"
said the poet. 81 lay thep price of a lunch
you can't" retorted the dramatist. A
fellow employe was called in to umpire the
test. As they were neither OF them ex-
pert tumblers, they leaned themselves
against the wall. While they were in this
picturesque attitude who should come in
ut the door but the minister of education
A member of the cabinet-the head of the
department, find them in such a positionl
Horrorsl The young man who held the
watch fled incontinently, but the two re-
versed contestants could not see who it
was that had entered, and did not bulge.
But they had no opportunity to move be-
fore the minister, taking in the situation
and its Significance, exclaimed: Remain
where you are, gentlemen. l can beat you
both" of came his coat, and, with a
folio Of documents, was placed upon n
chair, and in another instant he had stood
himself on his head near the two clerks.
They recognized his voice, and in their as
constituent came tumbling down. The
minister, however, remained heels up
against the wall, perfectly imperturbable,
while the clerks looked at each other in
silent bewilderment and some terror.
Presently the ministerial body relaxed, the
heels came down and the head of the de-
partment resumed his normal attitude.
You see, gentlemen he said blandly,
/ endured it longer than either OF YOU
The minister was red in the face from his
exercise and the clerks from their confu-
sion, but they knew enough not to mar
the effects of the scene by ap~ologizing for
their conduct. That would have implied
that the head OF the department had COM
mitted an error also, but after he had con-
tiuued his way they took a stern resolve
never, never to be caught mapping again
with their heels in the air during office
hours.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia Times

1t has been always the custom for the
princes of Germany to learn trades. The
Bourbon princes of France all acquired
trades. Some of them were printers, book
binders, shipwrights, house carpenters,
%joiners, and painters; they did not follow
these vacations, but they understood them.
Royal and p~rincely ladies in Germany and
France understand every function OF house
keeping and know how to perform 1t. They
can 20 to the dairy and handle milk or
n cow and u horse with dexterity and sat
isfaction. The Prince of Wales is a book
binder. Each of his brothers has u trade
and his sons are now learning trades ac-
cording To their tastes. All the ladies OF
the English royal household are accom-
plished in practical things aver If they arc
never called upon to do them.-Cleveland

us life worth living In these pallld days,
When all the earth is pulseless, thirsting goldt
Why are we shrunken from that height of old,
When men would die for glory's twining baysf'
So sang a maiden with a trumpet eye
And lip that pealed a poem with each wont.
What life Is this we live and die unheard
Beneath a silent and too sunny sky,-
Were 1t not better TO have lived in Greece,
And heard Demosthenes strike Philip down
With words that scared the lustre of his crown,
And wrote red war across the brow of peacei'
Were it not better to have lived In Rome
When Cesar, with Unsuitable blade,
Carved out a path through every hill and glade,
Until he made the frightened world his homer
Were it not betterto have lived and died
Before men fell upon such idle days;
Before the world had learned such coward waysi
Is life worth living Dowf' she sadly cried.
Truly l cannot tell thee that, my sweet"

Life then or now were worth the world to me,
